Revelation, I guess, I started reading the book that I had in my library. Do you remember the journal that wrote this a little bit more than that? What's that? We can read it down to the journal, but this is a little bit more than that. Yeah, we can. We can do it. What does it mean everybody if we want? I read a book in my library. I've never heard of it called the late great planet Earth by Harold Lindsay. I brought one that's going to get out of here. It's a good book. Yeah. I started reading it again the other day, and he pretty much agrees with everything, but pretty good, doesn't it? I think it was late 70s, he came out with the late great pine on earth first, and then Satan is alive and well on pine on earth for the second one, and pretty good. So if you got it downstairs, it is good. Unfortunately, as you go through the book, he begins with, just puts your faith in trusting Christ, and then the farther he gets through the book, the more he kind of elaborates. Yeah, but he puts it in the same context with salvation, which is what most people do. In Christ, war in five, and we've ever seen my movie, we've seen at the Heritage Bible Church, we've five or six people involved in making that movie. He was one of them and each one of them gave the gospel and each one of them just kept trying to outdo the other one. I don't know if anybody saw that movie. And of course, over what it was. Okay, Revelation chapter 8 and it raises me on the reason I brought that on the original creation. I believe God created the heavens and the earth in perfect condition. Then Satan was cast out of heaven to the earth. The earth became dark and void and then God recreated. That's when he recreated things. We know all the animal life, the plant life that we know a human mankind in the recreation, but there was a period of time on how long it was, but the earth was dark and void. And he goes through all the scriptures I do to prove that. So yeah. 3172. What's that? The recreation order. Who's that? The recreation order. This is one of the things we could do that. I won't do it tonight, but it's easy to explain really, really not complicated at all. Do you have something to say with that? Oh, okay. Okay. Revelation chapter 6 represents the first half of the seven year tribulation. Revelation chapter 7 is a parenthesis, and then Revelation chapter 8 and 9 represent The second half of the tribulation fell up to the seventh trumpet, and then there is chapter 10, is a parentheses, chapter 11 is a parentheses. And then in chapter 11, verse 15 through 19, we have the seventh trumpet ready to sound, and that's the beginning of the seventh trumpet during the last half, and then chapter 12 is another parentheses. But there are a couple of things I want to point out That's tonight and we'll just take time to do that as we're doing our studies in Revelation Chapter 9, if you will. Well, we look in Revelation Chapter 8 verse 8 before we go any further. And the second angel sounded in verse 8, and as it were, a great mountain, burning the fire was cast in the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood. Remember I've been saying all along that all the plays and all the judgments in the book of Revelation because of men asking for them? I was watching Discovery Channel the other day and one of my great scientists is saying that there's a meteor in orbit that's about a thousand miles wide, which would be about a fourth of the size of the Earth, or the United States. And all he's making a big deal out of it. And he said it's in a direct orbit and it could possibly hit the Earth and well if it is, it would be a terrible catastrophe, but it won't. That's what I'm going to do if it did go to the B.O.R. But in Revelation chapter 8 verse 8, all these people look clean that this is going to happen. Will there be something similar to that? A great mountain burning with fire, casting through the sea. Well, that's something from outer space. It's got cast and then of course you have the bombs and so forth. The people are going to destroy each other with during the first wars and so forth. forth and they're all going to come back and haunt them during the seven-year tribulation. The man gets what he asks for. On the occasion, Chapter 9, we have the thick trumpet sound and a star-fall from heaven having a key to the bottom of his pit. Verse 1, and he opened the bottom of his pit and there arose a smoke out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace and sun and air were darkened by the reason the smoke of the pit. And it came out of the smoke, the locusts upon the earth, and unto them was given power as scorpions of the earth, half power. And it was commanded that the invitation not hurt the grass of the earth, made it really green pain, and so forth. And in verse 6, in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and best shall flee from them, and the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared unto battle, and they had crowns like gold and sector of sector of verse 8. They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions, and they had breastplates. And my opinion is these are weapons of war, but the locust themselves are nothing more than demons. That's my opinion. Now looking at people in verse 11, and we'll go to a little bit of trouble to prove that, if we may. And they had a king over them, these locusts, who is the angel of the Bible, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abadon, but in the great tongue, have his name, Atayan, destroyer. Well, that's Satan. That's Satan. The locusts have king. You ought to write down in your Bible, Proverbs, chapter 30, verse 27, it says, Locust have no kings. Locust have no kings. Let me go here and make sure that's it. some revelation they have a team over them and the team of course the destroyer is none other than say because the name fits Abadon at Pollyon which means destroyer so I just thought I'd throw that out to you that's just a Greek word that does its element yeah that's religious there's two other things I'm want to point out here what we're in this portion here. In verse 15 it's going to be a lot of people killed during the seven-year tribulation. In the book in verse 15, four angels were loose and were prepared for an hour and a day and a month and a year to slay the third part of men. And then in verse 18, and by these was the third part of men killed by the fire and smoke and a brimstone which issued out of their mouths. I personally think these are tanks, by the way. Third part of men, that's the only thing I'm pointing out. But the fire and the brimstone that issues out of their mouth, yet to realize that they didn't know what they were doing. In verse 19, the powers in their mouth and their tails and their tails were like serpents and so forth. Not think a lot of these. And things are going down in verse 20. The rest of the men who were not killed by these flags yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils and idols of gold, silver, and brass and stone, so forth. Neither repented they are their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication. The word sorcery is here, and let me point something else out while I'm here. This verse, and also in verse chapter 18, verse 23, the word is used again, and it comes from the word pharma-chia, which means which is where we get our word pharmacy. And it literally is medication. It also represents witchcraft and it's where we get the word pharmacy medication drug. It doesn't agree to you. Mm-hmm. There's some there right now, right? Well, there are bound somewhere. There are bound somewhere. It says there are bound in the grave. I do know that when they're let loose, that these demons are going to block for a diesel to dry up, but these angels, I believe these angels are, well, go to second Peter chapter 2 verse 4, and I'll show you who I think these angels are. I will do that longer here, I won't plan on this, but I'll go over here, a lot of people don't agree with me on this subject here, but you can draw your own conclusion, so I'm just going to tell you what I think. In second Peter chapter 2 verse 4, if you remember in Genesis chapter 6 where the angels said they endure men and had children and they were called mighty men of war and some people assumed that the word giant comes from there but it doesn't but that they did mighty men, followed by the demons to end well man because they like women and because they hid that, God took her, anyway here, for God's mercy, not angels that send, that's what we talk about, but cast them down to hell, the word hell is a different word here and it's the word, it's in the lowest part of the earth, it's a pit, carcaro is the word, and delivered them into the chains of darkness to be reserved unto judgment. But my contention is this, it's not their judgment they're being chained for. The judgment they are reserved for is the judgment of humanity here in the seven-year tribulation. That's the judgment, I believe they're being reserved too. And then if you read back to Revelation, if you will, chapter 9, if you go back here, chapter 9 and verse 2, and he opened the bottomless pit and there it rose, a slope out of the pit. furnace and I think this suggests demonology being let loose up on humanity. These angels that he had because their desk is already sealed, their judgment is a done deal and so they're let loose and I think that's who they are. We're interpreting this, you can interpret it any way you like when you guys get the opportunity to teach it. Then I want to point out something else. We'll hold your place in Chapter 9, we'll do Chapter 6 in Revelation here, if you will, send that they did in Revelation chapter 6, as they endure up men so that they could have relations with women. That's the only way they could do it. But they looked at the daughters of men in Genesis chapter 6 and saw that they were fair. And they wanted them. And the only way they could have them is to, because an angel can't have sex, they're not sexual, is to endure a person, a man. And that's what they did. And Jude said they They left their first estate and if you look the first estate up, it means dwelling place. Well, that's the way they were built, the way they were made there. In the Greek it doesn't really mean dwelling place, it means you're home, you're habitation. So when God created them, He created them to inhabit the realm that we can't see, another realm all together. That's what they were created to inhabit. They weren't created to inhabit physical bodies like you and I had. They left their habitation, and so they did when they left their habitation, they indulged mankind so that they could have relations with women because they looked at them and liked them, you see. And that was what they did wrong. They indulged humanity and left their first habitation course. We know demons do that today, but of course we're living in another dispensation altogether. We know that they still do it. The problem got ahead with it, it was in the beginning of his dyspensations and it was the beginning of the angelic beings and dwelling humanity, it was the beginning, and there was so much of it that God just could stop the different time period in history altogether. But that's what I believe these angels were and that's what I think that's the change in the bottom of the pit and now they're loose in a seven year population and then the if you read on the on down it tells us that the two two hundred million men army and all humanity was demonic and well by demons well that's where to come from that's where they came just gonna come from east yes they will yeah China will have a great part in it but it's gonna be all the eastern nations and I think those are all those countries over there around China or India the eastern nations that is the East. There are my points, something else that I'll follow here. Well, actually, everything is from Jerusalem. Everything in the Bible is North, Southeast, West, and Jerusalem. China, in most countries, are considered deeply, Russia is considered North. It is North, but Russia, I don't think, I don't think in Revelation, Russia will be part of the Eastern countries that attack at the Battle of Armageddon, because God will destroy them at the beginning of Revelation chapter 6, verses 1 to 3. Oh, Russia will have a farce to play because he won't destroy all of Russia, just Russia's army. The ideology will still be there. The ideology will still be there because it'll rise again at the end of the thousand-year reign of Christ. There'll be another battle of the Golden Mego, which is the ideology of Russia, which is only logical because if God doesn't destroy it and his equal chapter 38 and 39 are the Russian armies. not the Russian people and not the ideology. So once again, that ideology will arise, and a lot of tell people something because Gog and May Gog is always anti-Christ, and Gog and May Gog is Russian. Communism is anti-Christ. That's why Hillary Clinton is an anti-Christ. She's a communist. She's a devout communist. I don't like her very much. Revelation chapter 6. At the end of the 7-year tribulation was in verse 16-17, and the sect of the mountains and rocks fall on us, and hide us from the face of him but siteth on the throne and from the wrath of the land. For the great dampest wrath has come, and who shall be able to stand? The great dampest wrath has the last half of the 7-year tribulation, but notice they use the word from the wrath of the land. In other words, they acknowledge God, but they don't accept it. And what I'd like to do, and they do the same thing in Revelation chapter 9 verses 18 through 21, they repent as neither repent of their murders nor sore threes nor foreign occasions nor their thefts and so forth and so forth. And if they still worship trials, I'd like to give you a perfect example and you might want to write this down as a referencing for Revelation, but in 1 Samuel chapter 5, a good example of this. And of course we can see it today, Christ will, even though the heat reveals in chapter 2, it's constantly. But in 1 Samuel chapter 5, we'll just go through this briefly, I don't want to say a lot of time on it, but there's a couple other things we want to find out. In 1 Samuel chapter 5, we'll give you a good example of this way of thinking, which is really stupid. We're not going to cover everything, but the whole chapter covers the subject. The Philistines, verse 1, took the Ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdog. When the Philistines took the Ark of God, they brought it into the house of Degan and said it by Degan. Degan was their God. It had a big statue of Degan. You have a Degan look like. The top was a man and the bottom half was a fish. And when When they asked God arose early on the Marl the next day, he told Dagan was fallen upon his face to the earth before the Ark of the Lord, and they took Dagan and set him up in his place. They had to be taken by now, he fell right on his face. And when they arose early in the next Marl, well, that's singing pretty loud in there, what was in it? And when the arose early on the next morning, the old Degan was fallen upon his face to the ground before the Ark of the Lord. And the head of Degan and both the ponds with the sands were cut off upon the threshold. Only the stump of Degan was left to him. I like that. Therefore, neither the priests of Degan nor any of them in the Degan's house tread on the threshold of Degan in Ashgod until this day. And I believe that's this day they won't tread on it. But the hand of the Lord was heavy upon them of Ash-Doth, and he destroyed them, and smoked them with boils or tumors, sores, even Ash-Doth and its coast, in other words, the whole country. Wow. He smoked them with boils because they had the ark, and they took the ark, and they put it next to their God. And the men of Ash-Doth saw that it was so, they said, the ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us. For his hand is sore or heavy upon us and upon dating our God. Isn't that something? You realize that the God of Israel is the God of God and he is heavy upon your so-called God and upon you and yet you still want to keep your God-dagoned and they said therefore and gathered all the laws of the Philistines under them and said, what shall we do with the Ark of the God of Israel. And they answered, let the Ark of the God of Israel be carried about on Dugiaf. And they carried the Ark of the God of Israel about to the other there, and it was so that, after they had carried about the hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great destruction, and he smoked them in the city both small and great, and they had sores in their secret parts, getting that bummer. Therefore, they set the the Ark of God to get from and it came to pass as the Ark of God came to get from that the Echronite's cried out saying, they have brought about the Ark of the 6th to slay us and our people in that something. Wouldn't you be thinking by now if we got a visual, this mighty, maybe I'll reconsider my own, you know, is that something? Yeah, really, really something. It's going to be exactly the same during the 7-year-old tribulation. Yeah, you're God's boy, you're God. Let's hide from your God. Why not acknowledge him? Wouldn't that be thing to do? Maybe you wouldn't have to hide from him. And therefore they sent the archipelago and it came to pass if the archipelago came to Ekron. And the Ekronites cried out, boy, everybody's crying out. They had brought the archipelago to slay us. So they sent and gathered together But all the lords of the Phil steams and said, send away the ark of the God of Israel. And let it go again to its own place, that it slay us not and our people. For there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city. The hand of God was very heavy there. And the men that died, not were smitten with the sores and the cry of the city went up to heaven. Isn't that something? The perfect example of the way it's going to be during the seven year tribulation and they're still, they will not repent for the works of their business. I was talking to a preacher friend of mine last night and we used to work to see that again and we were talking about all the guys that worked that we worked with that we witnessed too. And one of the fellows that we witnessed too just plain glad how we rejected it. And I said to him, I'm not telling him how to to be saved anymore. I don't care. I've had it. And I've told him at least three times and I get tired of the mouth, you know, and I, and he's a nice guy, I talk to him, but I'm not going to time how to be saved again. I'm just not going to do it. And if he lives past the rapture, he's going to be one of those people that's going to be on this earth, going through all that misery and cursing God, but he still won't. And my opinion would be a lot easier to trust crisis your Savior as to go through all that, but whatever. I don't know. Anyhow, back to Revelation. Point out another thing here. In Revelation chapter 9, the sixth trumpet sounds, and the sixth trumpet is ready to prepare for the Battle of Armageddon and in verse 15, these are the angels that are bound in the you for eighties and then verse sixteen the number of the army of the horse number two hundred thousand that's a awful lot and I heard the number of them by the way that comes up to about well two hundred million yeah and thus I saw the horses in the vision and the breastplate supplier and so forth so these were the army and I think their tanks weapons of war and the reason they're so so while looking is because the men that operate them are demon possessed and the Bible tells us in Revelation that the army is even possessed, we're not going to take time to go there, but look in chapter 10 if you will. The only thing God does not reveal to us are, in verse 1, I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as though it were the sun and his feet like pillars of fire. In heaven's hand a little book open and he said his right foot upon the sea and his left foot upon the earth and cried with a loud voice as one alive and roared and when he cried seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write and heard voice from heaven saying unto me, seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not. Imagine. The seven thunders must be so terrible, the seven thunders must be so terrible that God didn't even bother writing them in the book. The seven thunders, that was just part of the sixth trumpet. And the angel whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven and swore by him that living forever and ever who created heaven and the things that are in it, and the earth and the things are in it and the sea and so forth. But in the days of the voice of the Seventh Angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished as he declared to the servants, the prophets and so forth. But that's the only thing in revelation that God didn't reveal, the Seventh Thunder, whatever they are. Whatever they are, they must be. And the Seventh trumpet, which is the final part of the Seventh Seal, is not opened until Chapter 11 verse 15. Chapter 11, verse 15 through 19 is not through 19. Notice if you will and the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven saying the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of this Christ and he shall rank forever and ever. Remember in Revelation chapter 5 he had the seventh sealed book. Remember that? Now Now he opens the seventh seal and when the seventh seal is opened, the kingdom of this world has begun to be the kingdom of our Lord. He bought back the earth and he devout ready to unwrap the seventh seal, the final flag, the final judgment, but before he does, we have another parenthesis in chapter 12, which we are not going to begin to do. And then we have the 420 elders, which as I said before, represents the church, and with They give the Lord thanks in verse 17 and verse 18. Verse 18, notice it real, and the nations were angry. And thy wrath has come and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shalt give reward unto thy servants to prophets and to the saints, and then the pure thy name, small and gray, and so forth in the temple of God was open in heaven, and we're just about ready to open the seventh seed. But I want you to notice something else here we've talked about before in verse 3 of chapter 11. Remember the 144th house, how the first fruit, look in chapter 11 if you will, verses 1 and 2, the temple being built in Jerusalem. Take three and a half years. During that three and a half years, the first three and a half years, that's why this is a parenthesis. There are two witnesses who went to all the earth about the Lord Jesus Christ, they lead the 144,000 to the Lord, the 144,000 made a multitude, and that's the fruit of the fruit, those that are sealed. But the fruit of the fruit of two witnesses is 144,000, and I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy 1,200 and three-sfour days, three-and-a-half years, cloth and sack cloth. These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the Earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire, proceed without their mouth and devour their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, they do reign not in the days of their prophecy, and have power over waters to turn into blood, and this might be earth with all plagues as often as they will. Some lot of power and when they shall have finished their testimony the beast by the sin of thousand bottomless pit that's the anti-Christ shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them. And their death bodies shall lie in the street of the great city which is called Sodom and Egypt. That's Jerusalem. We're also our Lord, the crucified. And they notice this, if you will, they are the peoples and tenders and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days in a half and shall suffer their dead bodies to be put in and shall suffer their dead bodies to be put in grade and they shall dwell upon the and they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and make merry imagine that yeah the internet television be watching Fox News for all the Rivera at that point you never know and they did But wealth on the earth shall rejoice over them and make Mary and sing this one to another because these two prophets torment have been, oh, how they torment them with the word. Tortments, everybody, doesn't it? That's why you're in a small church, believe it or not. I'm serious. You're in a small church because the word, the torment, bequeath, comes in to them and they have a resurrection, and still people don't accept the price. But who are these two witnesses? There are a lot of people saying that there are Moses and Elijah, even your schoolfields Bible down at the bottom, says that their power is like that of Moses and Elijah. And I've heard a lot of preachers say that there are Moses and Elijah. What's that? Who's the one that took the one that got it right there? No, Enoch. Enoch and Elijah. Yeah, but that's Enoch. Well, Zachariah tells us who they are, Zachariah chapter 4. So he tells us who they are. That's the, when Peter and James were on the Mount of Olives and Moses and Elijah appeared to him. Remember that? They knew who they were, right? They were saw in the form of their life, but they knew who they were. It's a done deal. When you see Moses and Elijah, you're going to know it. Anybody else? It's any other saint we've seen you're going to know. Anyway, in verse 8, Zechariah, he sees these two people. over. The word of the Lord came unto me saying, the hands of Zerababal have laid the fountain of this house. His hands also shall also pay for it. And thou shalt know that the word of post has sent me unto you. For who has despised the small things? For they shall read yours and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerababal with those seven. They are the eyes of the Lord which run to him for hope through the whole earth. Then answered, I, and said unto him, over these two olive trees upon the right side of the Campbell state, and upon the left side of it. And I answered again and said unto him, what are these two olive branches, which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? And he answered me and said, no, so that I'm not what these are. And I said no, my Lord. Then he said to him, been saying he these are the two elected ones that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. Zacharias saw the two witnesses but guess who they are. Don't have any ideas? We don't know. They're not going to be Moses. They're not going to be Elijah. We don't know. Nobody knows. They're just going to be two witnesses. I don't know about you. I don't want to remain after. But if they're going to be two witnesses. They're probably all probably chosen. I don't know who they are. Where they come from, I don't know who they are. There will be two people who are alive on the earth. They're in the seven year period. They're going to miss the rapture because they're going to be adults. A rapture all on the planet Earth's day. Well, let me show you. Sixteen. I remember that the seventh seal is made up of seven trumpets. The seventh trumpet, the last trumpet, is made up of seven vials, seven bulls. What does that mean? It means it's easy to pour out. Okay, Revelation chapter 16. Remember what we just read in Revelation chapter 9, the reverie Fridays and the demons that are chained in the reverie Fridays, they have power over. Okay, Revelation chapter 16, verse 10, and the fifth angel, He poured out his bile, his bowl upon the seat, or throne of the beast, and his kingdom was full of darkness, and they knelt their tongues for pain. And bless him, the God of heaven, because of their pains, and their sorrows, and repented not of their deeds. Isn't that something? They blame God for it, but they wouldn't have turned it. But in verse 12, the Sixth Angel poured out his bile upon the great River Euphrates, and its water was dried up that the way of the kings of the East might be good. Yep, I want to show you something else along over here. Remember the kit to open and all the locus that come out there? And I claim that they're demons. We'll look in a very next couple of verses here, if you will. This is a parenthesis of becoming Armageddon for 13. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, the mouth of the beast, and the mouth of the false prophet. That is the unholy Trinity. Okay, the father, the anti-Christ, who imitates God the Son, and the false prophet, who imitates the Holy Spirit, three unclean spirits come out of them. For 14, they are the spirits of devils, working miracles that go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world. Imagine how demonology is going to run wild as if it's not bad enough today. of our college professors are demon possessed, whether you know it or not. Most of our politicians for watching the commercials on TV, if you've been affected, or you and you're loved on Missles Dilly, Illinois, give us a call, we'll sue them, you know. Sue happy, crazy, crazy, crazy world. And the reason they do that, the kings of the whole earth and the whole world together them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Armageddon. The numbers of teeth, blesses, you see that watching teeth is garments, blesses, you walk naked and see your shape. Okay? So, what we've been doing so far is just going through a revelation, pointing out the things that you need and that would give you the foundation for your own studies. That's what we've been attempting to do. Okay. Any questions? Any comments? I'll see if I can explain. Yeah. Any, any comments? I'll see if I can explain. Remember back in Genesis, or Exodus, rather, we talked about the frog slaves that God brought up on the earth. It was a plague. It's a simple sect of the life. It's enemy frog gags, house and literal frogs jump back. It's symbolic. It has to make sense. Let's have work for him. We'll close him. We've got to let you start with my little clothes early. That's only fitting, isn't it? Thank you for your word, and we believe it. Looking forward to the coming of the past, looking forward to the rapture. The most important thing in our life should be looking forward to the rapture. And just like the Bible says in the very last couple of verses in Revelation, even so come Lord Jesus. And we'll thank the Lord and His name for your metronome.
